0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

LEDVANCE is a large, established company specializing in the development and supply of advanced lighting products for both professional and consumer markets. The company positions itself as a global leader in general lighting solutions, offering a broad portfolio that includes lighting products, solutions, renewable energy, and related services. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with a focus on user experience and multi-regional accessibility. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript frameworks, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Usercentrics for consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is moderate with some best practices observed, such as default denial of ad and analytics storage and ads data redaction, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain WHOIS data supports the legitimacy of the business. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve transparency around privacy, security policies, and contact information.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

LEDVANCE operates in the energy sector, specifically focusing on lighting technology. Its business model centers on manufacturing and distributing lighting products and solutions to professional and consumer segments worldwide. The company maintains a strong market position as a leading global provider with a comprehensive product portfolio. The presence of multiple localized websites and a dedicated webshop indicates a broad geographic reach and diversified revenue streams. Partnerships with career platforms and dedicated e-commerce sites enhance its ecosystem. The company targets professional lighting users and end consumers, leveraging technology and innovation to maintain competitive advantages. Growth indicators include a wide language and regional presence and investment in digital marketing and consent management tools.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. It uses HTTPS (implied by URL), Google Tag Manager with consent management via Usercentrics, and defaults to denying ad and analytics storage, which aligns with GDPR principles. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) were detected in the provided data, and no published security or incident response policies are available. No contact channels for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures were found. The absence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries is positive, but the site could benefit from enhanced security transparency and formalized policies to improve compliance and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents to improve trust and incident response readiness.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular audits to improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager for analytics and Usercentrics for consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The presence of RequireJS and modular JavaScript suggests a well-structured front-end architecture. CSS frameworks like Swiper are used for UI components. The CMS appears to be Pimcore, a professional content management system suitable for enterprise websites. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive images for different screen sizes. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are present. However, no explicit hosting provider information or advanced platform details were found. The site could improve by adding more accessibility features and security headers to reduce technical risks.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
